But the station changed its format over the decades.
They went from occasionally playing 20th century garbage to almost always playing it.
What surprises me, is that once a year, during the holiday season, they ask their listeners to vote for their favorite works.
Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Mozart and the like make up the vast majority of what their listeners like.
Yet the station persists in playing their nihilistic 20th century garbage almost constantly.
And when they are not playing 20th century garbage, they will dredge up some earlier piece of cacophony or some obscure, trite 19th or 18th cent. version of elevator music and play that.
I conclude that the station is purposely fostering a dislike of "classical music" in young people.
I picture a teenager tuning in to QXR for a moment, hearing the garbage they play, and concluding that is typical of classical music, and so classical music is the worst junk imaginable.
It's like it's a commie plot or something to dumb down each new generation of Americans.
The same is true of WABE (government radio) here in Atlanta. I stopped listening several years ago.
Most of their “music” programming is the crap you indicate they play up there.
The rest of their day is consumed with statist/socialist/leftist bravo sierra TALK.
And BTW, it IS a socialist plot to further DUMB DOWN the populace here so they might be more easily led to the utopia being planned for us (whether we want it or not).
And it’s been going on in the government schools for decades!

This analysis is “over the top”.
First it ignore Jennen’s own statements of what he is saying.
Second, it puts undue emphasis on word choices, e.g. “nations” rather than “heathen”, that are translation choices and which various versions of the Bible, including those available to Jennen’s use alternatively.
